Team Holloway (Yr 2)

This week in English we've been looking at the features of recipes. We were inspired by our text Burger Boy to create a recipe for a healthy alternative to pizza. We decided to create fruit pizza recipes earlier this week, and today we had a go at following these recipes!

The class really enjoyed making a variety of fruit pizzas and arranging the toppings in creative ways!

Every year the National Gallery launch their 'Take One Picture' event, which aims to inspire children in schools across the country to make their own artwork based on one of the gallery's paintings.

This year, the chosen picture is 'A Shipwreck in Stormy Seas' by Claude-Joseph Vernet.

The children have been having great fun painting paper plate fruit wit Mrs Vost as an introduction to our new Topic - Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds. They've also been making poster about te benefits of exercise for our display.

As part of Personal Development week this week we have been learning about Buddhism in RE. We have learnt about the wheel of life and how it reminds Buddhists of their teachings;  and about Vesak, a festival in May that celebrates Buddha's birthday. During this festival Buddhists decorate their temples with lanterns and flags, place flowers around Buddha's shrine and give vegetarian food to those in need as well as other things.

We enjoyed learning about the festival and creating some of the things Buddhists would during the festival.

We hope you had a restful and relaxing Christmas break. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to school tomorrow for the new term.
